Estyn to host monthly Estyn Live events for 2025/26
Estyn is launching a new series of monthly Estyn Live webinars for the 2025/26 academic year, designed to support education professionals across Wales.
Each session will explore a key theme, from demystifying the inspection process to sharing best practice drawn from our latest thematic reports. Attendees will hear directly from Estyn inspectors as well as providers, who will share their experiences and insights. Every webinar will also include a live Q&A, giving participants the chance to put their questions directly to the speakers.
The first Estyn Live webinar will take place at 4:00pm on 24 September 2025. Join His Majesty’s Chief Inspector Owen Evans and his team as they focus on inspection in schools and PRUs.
The discussion session will break down everything you need to know ahead of an inspection – making it an essential session for school leaders, staff, and governors who want to find out more about the process.
